This year for Platinum Dance Nationals, we stayed with several other dance families at the Sheraton Panama City Golf & Beach Resort. This place has an amazing boardwalk/dock and a private beach, which offered some great photographic opportunities!

Home Networking Upgrade
At the time of this post, we subscribe to Spectrum’s Ultimate Internet Package (300/10 Mbps). This package costs a bit extra but offers 3x the bandwidth vs the 100 Mbps base package. Since I work from home, it’s easy to justify the extra expense. To maximize that bandwidth, my office has a DOCSIS 3.0 MotorolaContinue reading “Home Networking Upgrade”
The first day of band camp, the Class of 2023 orientation
Chase starts the 9th grade at Enterprise High School this fall. It’s hard to believe that he’s going to graduate in 2023!
2018: A Year In Review
I didn’t get around to posting a review for 2017, which was mega huge, since we bought a house, renovated it, and then helped launch a church. But since I’ve got a few minutes, here goes… Family life Wyatt (2), is a rambunctious toddler currently going through his terrible two’s. He loves dinosaurs, monster trucks,Continue reading “2018: A Year In Review”
2016: A Year In Review
I’m terrible at blogging (Instagram is just easier to post life events and memories too) so I figured I would write a “year in review” post instead. It’s lengthy, so let’s just get to it…
I mean’t no offense, ma’am
Today I learned that people take offense to being called “ma’am”. Like, serious offense.

Hello Chloe Grace
It happened so fast. One minute we’re watching contractions on the monitor, the next we’re prepping for a c-section. In just 40 weeks and 31 minutes, Tara and I went from expecting to holding our precious little girl.
Mobile website statistics from 2009 through 2013

WordCamp Birmingham was…awesome
This was my second WordCamp (of any kind), the first being WordCamp San Francisco just a few weeks ago. I wanted to list out the key differences between camps:
Yup, I think it’s time to ditch cable. Buh Bye Time Warner.
Most of you know we just moved. I was very happy with Charter in Montgomery. We had 3 brand-new HD-DVRs each with 1TB drives, 30/4Mbps un-throttled Internet that would burst to over 60Mbps, plus over 100 HD channels (all with excellent picture quality). Best of all, I didn’t pay any silly fees. I paid for theContinue reading “Yup, I think it’s time to ditch cable. Buh Bye Time Warner.”
Living Next Door To The Ex-Wife
In January 2010, I started as Chief Engineer at Bluewater Broadcasting. The new job required me to move to Montgomery, Alabama (about 2 hours from my son Chase). It’s been a very difficult 3 years, 5 months, and 19 days – not only for me but Chase as well.
